Vé di động
Experience Silfra's pristine, crystal clear water while you dive between two continents.
Silfra is a crack in the Earth ripped open by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
The crystal clear glacial water filling the Silfra fissure has been filtered for decades through underground lava rock, providing over 100 meters of underwater visibility. The underwater scenery that you experience in Silfra is found nowhere else on Earth, a true bucket list dive.
The diving tour of Silfra is done in a dry suit, helping you to stay warm and dry inside the suit.
You will explore the four main parts of Silfra, the big crack, Silfra hall, Silfra Cathedral and the Silfra Lagoon. You will be able to touch the 2 continents at one point, don't forget to take a photo!
Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park which is a Unesco heritage site. The beautiful park is one of the wonders on the famous Golden circle route.

5.00Fantastic opportunity, great team of staff, very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and a huge bucket list tik off while visiting Iceland. The water wasn’t as cold as we had expected and the kit was great to keep us warm but highly advise wearing your own layers underneath to help and the bit chocolate and biscuits at the end was perfect!

5.00We loved diving with Dive.IS. They were incredibly attentive and everyone was so nice. I never felt more like royalty 🤣🤣. And if you get the chance to dive with Elsa you are in for a treat. She is really funny and friendly. She took amazing photos and practically saved me and my clumsy self 3 times. You will never be safer.

5.00Well... my first TripAdvisor review ever! No need to say, that the price tag on that tour, especially combined with the drysuit course, was exceptionally pricey (even more than my flight + rental car combined). But that's all I have on the downside. It was absolutely worth it! There's surely no other place like this in the world, so it's an experience for a lifetime. The dive itself took only 30 minutes, dressing up and getting out of that suit again plus waiting and the dive was around 2 hours. We were a group of three scuba divers and we were taken on the dive by Elsa, a very experienced trainer. I felt safe the whole dive, even though I'm surely not the most experienced diver (only 8 dives so far). She was also pretty funny, of course not under water, she switched to absolutely professional mode and she was suddenly completely mute (I wonder why) 😏 Oh and the staff was extremely helpful, we got the full service, including dressing up. I totally recommend that for everyone in good physical condition. The walk back from the exit isn't long, but the gear is *really* weighty!!! So I'm telling everyone at home and probably if someone wants to join in, I may return regardless of the price tag 😅🙈🤷
Awesome experience thanks Quim

5.00We had Hugo as a guide, who was really friendly and calm. The whole team virtually dress you for the dive which was a strange experience but took some stress off for us new dry-suit divers. The van to change it was heated- very luxurious. Hugo gave us a solid breifing. The dive was absolutely incredible and we even saw a trout. We were the only scuba divers that day which was also a treat. Hugo led us at a steady pace and took a lot of photos. Hot chocolate afterwards was a nice warm up. Thanks guys.
